“Kacey did an amazing job with my dogs. It was great how she took the time to engage with each of them and provided photos and video. I will ABSOLUTELY request her service in the future.”
About: I have quite a bit of experience with animals. I've worked at 2 Veterinarian Hospitals in the past and have had pets for over half my life. My schedule is pretty flexible so just message me what days you need and I'll work you in! I love going for walks outside and have spent countless hours playing with my dog and cats. I also have worked around pets that require special attention (I.e. asthma and diabetes) so I have experience with that as well. I’ve delt with many pets who are on medications and am very good about making sure they get their pills when they are supposed to get them. I own a cat who was born without eyes so I'm very good with blind animlas. Overall I'm a huge animal lover and hope to meet yours! I currently do not have any other jobs and my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m very easy to get ahold of and will always make sure I have plenty of time for communication and pet care At home I have a small fenced in yard where my dog and cat can roam freely whenever they want. I always want to make sure they get as much outside time as they want. I’m the same way with all of my clients pets. I never want to deprave they sunshine and happiness.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for the past ten years! I have experience with drop in visits, walking, and over-nights. I have sat for dogs ranging from 6 weeks old to 15 years old, I even have experience with medically complex animals. I’m currently working full-time job. so I am available for morning and evening drop-in’s. For the weekends I have full availability for your furry family. Safety is my number one priority when it comes to taking care of animals. I always make the area the animals is in is safe, and I always make sure the pet is feeling loved.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and animals of various kinds since my young days. Now a 32 year old woman my heart is in the same place. I welcome your animal into my home for a safe, fun and warm environment while parents are away. I offer personalized care and adjust as each fur baby has unique preferences and needs. Can’t wait to have your baby stay with us! The pet care fits right into my daily routine. I’m always out and about in the neighborhood for walks and exercise and only enjoy that more with a pet friend with me. I work a few hours at a gym and won’t be out long when I am. I do have a cat that stays with my and my dog. My dog spends half the time with my parents at their home so I can either have a friend for your pet or if preferable keep my dog at my parents home while your animal stays at our house. We live in a beautiful apartment complex close to Down Town Mount Dora. It’s a quiet neighborhood and a brand new fenced in dog park right near my apartment.
About: I have a lot of experience with dogs from every walk of life, from puppy to senior. I am very well experienced with senior dogs and disabled dogs and can administer things such as medication, injections (such as insulin) and special care (frequent potty breaks, exact feeding times, and so on.) I have a lot of experience with dogs as small as 7lbs and as big as 100lbs (or more.) Whatever is requested of me, I will do, including exercise, playtime, and crate time if needed. No matter shape, size, or age, I promise I will do my best! I'm currently in college and not yet working full-time, so I can make any day work except for Mondays and Tuesdays. I'm available weekends, late, and early, as long as I'm given appropriate notice on the latter two. I will do whatever is requested of me to make your pet as happy as possible within your home. As stated previously, I can give medications and follow strict routines, as well as allowing your dog plenty of time and opportunites to go out alongside regular walks.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 372 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Altoona. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
